My Beautiful Laundrette (1985)

Nice enough film, but a bit slow and emotionally I could not get into it. Was it the style of the film? The dialogues were just dry, more than once.

Hanif Kureishi - "Intimacy"

Impressive novelle of the doubts and choices of a middle-aged man on the last night before he leaves his wife and their children.

Much to learn from his writing.

the Buddha of Suburbia

Written bij acclaimed writer Hanif Kureishi, produced by the BBC with David Bowie providing the soundtrack, this must be something... 

It is comprised of four episodes of about 45 minutes, haven't heard the commentary track.

Good, enjoyable, giving a good (I think?) idea of the bleak prospects and hopeless dreams of suburban people, the vibrant soundtrack was at a positive juxtaposition, but I was confused throughout the series.

Changes in time happened quickly and seemingly at random. This wouldn't have been so much of a problem when the changes in character though, felt "hastened" as well. Sudden changes in main character "Creamy" weren't believable in my eyes.

Loved the music, the scenes, decor, as I said, it seems to give - wasn't there, alas - a good impression.
